almost on the right track....but wrong.

Rconsole · 09-14-2005, 07:47 AM

A book?

Spock · 09-14-2005, 11:52 AM

One might as well say "everything". The answer must be the answer not a broad statement.

Rconsole · 09-14-2005, 03:59 PM

Oh well I tried

Lotesse · 09-14-2005, 04:01 PM

Yes, at least you tried; it's a friggin' tough question! Spock's questions are always tough.

***Valandil*** · 09-15-2005, 04:19 AM

I'm not sure (AT ALL - in fact, this is little more than a wild guess), but was it another source book for the information in LOTR - sorta like the Redbook of Westmarch?

Spock · 09-15-2005, 07:14 AM

..you're getting warm Val.

***Valandil*** · 09-15-2005, 07:24 AM

Then was it a particular edition of the Redbook of Westmarch? Did it come from Great Smials or Brandy Hall or something?

Spock · 09-15-2005, 11:12 AM

....sighs....no

Yes, Lotesse has the right attitude on this one. No one guessed it and so I'll post the answer in a trice.

Spock · 09-16-2005, 10:44 AM

THE ANSWER:
Not many ancient documents were preserved in the Shire. At the end of the Third Age far the most notable survival was "Yellowskin" or the Year-book of the Tuckborough. Its earliest entries seem to have begun at least nine hundred years before Frodo's time.

What did the Shire Hobbits maintain began on 2 Yule, year 1422 of Shire Reckoning, rather than as others accounted it?

Curubethion · 09-17-2005, 11:08 AM

The Fourth Age?

Telcontar_Dunedain · 09-17-2005, 11:19 AM

A new Year?

Spock · 09-17-2005, 11:23 AM

The first annual White Sale.
